5. Categories of Cookies We May Use

The cookies and similar technologies used on our website may fall into one or more of the following categories.

Strictly Necessary Cookies

Strictly necessary cookies are used where they are essential to provide a website feature or service that you have requested.

These may support functions such as:

• Maintaining your shopping basket

• Processing checkout steps

• Keeping website sessions secure

• User authentication where applicable

• Fraud prevention

• Remembering information required to complete a transaction

• Maintaining essential website or network functionality

Where a cookie or similar technology meets the applicable legal requirements for a strictly necessary use, your consent may not be required.

Because these technologies are necessary for requested website services to work, disabling them through your browser may prevent parts of the website from functioning correctly.

Functional and Preference Technologies

These technologies may allow the website to remember choices you make or adapt its appearance or functionality.

For example, they may help remember:

• Language preferences

• Display settings

• Accessibility preferences

• Certain website-interface choices

Some uses of these technologies may be permitted without consent where they fall within an applicable legal exception and all conditions of that exception are satisfied.

Where required, we will provide appropriate information and a simple way for you to object or manage these technologies.

If a particular functional technology does not qualify for an exception, we will request your consent before using it.

Analytics and Performance Technologies

We may use analytics technologies to understand how visitors use our website and to help us improve its performance.

Information collected for these purposes may include:

• Number of website visits

• Pages viewed

• Approximate time spent on pages

• How visitors navigate through the website

• Device and browser types

• General traffic sources

• Page-loading performance

• Error information

• General interaction statistics

Certain limited analytics activities may be carried out without consent where they qualify for an applicable statutory exception for statistical purposes.

Where we rely on such an exception, the technology will be used only for qualifying statistical purposes intended to improve our website or service, and we will provide the information and objection options required by law.

Analytics that involve tracking, profiling, advertising, identification of individual visitors, or purposes outside an applicable exception will only be used where the legally required consent has been obtained.

Marketing and Advertising Technologies

Marketing and advertising technologies may be used to:

• Measure advertising campaigns

• Understand the effectiveness of marketing

• Help deliver relevant advertisements

• Measure interactions with advertising

• Build or use advertising audiences

• Support advertising across different websites or services

Where cookies or similar technologies are used for online advertising, tracking, or profiling purposes, we will obtain consent where required before activating them.

You may refuse or withdraw your consent to marketing and advertising technologies through the cookie-preference options available on our website.

6. First-Party and Third-Party Cookies

Cookies may be described as either first-party or third-party cookies.

First-Party Cookies

First-party cookies are set through the Romiley Pets Pantry website itself.

They may be used for purposes such as:

• Shopping basket functionality

• Checkout

• Security

• Website preferences

• Website performance

Third-Party Cookies and Technologies

Some website functionality may be provided by external service providers.

Depending on the services we use, third parties may provide technologies relating to:

• Payment processing

• E-commerce functionality

• Website hosting

• Analytics

• Security and fraud prevention

• Embedded content

• Advertising or marketing

These providers may place or access cookies or similar technologies when you use relevant features.

Where third-party technologies require consent, they should not be activated until the appropriate consent has been obtained.

Third parties may process information according to their own privacy notices and contractual arrangements with us.

We recommend reviewing the privacy and cookie information provided by relevant third-party services where appropriate.

7. Cookie Consent

We do not treat your continued use of our website by itself as consent to cookies or similar technologies where valid consent is legally required.

Where consent is required, you will be given an appropriate opportunity to make a choice before the relevant non-exempt technologies are activated.

Depending on the cookie-management system available on our website, you may be able to:

• Accept non-essential cookies

• Reject non-essential cookies

• Select particular categories

• Change your preferences later

Consent must be given through a clear positive choice.

Rejecting non-essential cookies should not prevent you from using the basic functions of our website that do not depend on those cookies.

8. Withdrawing or Changing Your Consent

Where our use of cookies or similar technologies is based on your consent, you may withdraw or change that consent at any time.

You can normally do this by reopening the cookie settings, cookie preferences, or similar control available on our website.

Changing your preferences will apply to future use of the relevant technologies.

Withdrawal of consent does not make any processing carried out lawfully before withdrawal unlawful.

You may also need to delete existing cookies through your browser if you want to remove information already stored on your device.

9. Objecting to Certain Exempt Technologies

UK law may permit certain limited statistical or website appearance/functionality technologies to be used without consent when specific legal requirements are satisfied.

Where we rely on an exception that requires users to be given an opportunity to object, we will provide a simple and free means of doing so.

If you object to a technology used under such an exception, we will respect that choice as required by applicable law.

10. Managing Cookies Through Your Browser

Most internet browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings.

Depending on your browser, you may be able to:

• View stored cookies

• Delete cookies

• Block all cookies

• Block third-party cookies

• Allow cookies from selected websites

• Configure how long cookies are retained

Browser controls vary between providers and devices.

Please be aware that blocking all cookies may affect website functionality. For example, features such as shopping baskets, login sessions, preferences, or checkout processes may not operate correctly if essential cookies are blocked.

11. How Long Cookies Remain on Your Device

The period for which a cookie remains on your device depends on the type of cookie.

Session Cookies

Session cookies are generally temporary and expire when you close your browser or when your browsing session ends.

Persistent Cookies

Persistent cookies may remain on your device for a defined period or until you delete them.

We aim to keep cookie retention periods appropriate to the purpose for which each technology is used.

Where personal information is collected through cookies or similar technologies, we will not keep it for longer than necessary for the relevant purpose, subject to applicable legal requirements.

12. Cookies Used for Shopping and Checkout

Because Romiley Pets Pantry operates an online retail website, certain cookies or similar technologies may be necessary to provide shopping functionality requested by customers.

These may include technologies required to:

• Add products to a shopping basket

• Remember basket contents between pages

• Progress through checkout

• Maintain a secure transaction

• Confirm selections made during the ordering process

• Prevent fraudulent transactions

Where these technologies are strictly necessary to provide the service requested by you, they may be used without consent as permitted by law.

13. Payment Providers

When you make a purchase, an external payment provider may be involved in securely processing the transaction.

Payment providers may use cookies or similar technologies for purposes such as:

• Payment authentication

• Transaction security

• Fraud prevention

• Maintaining secure payment sessions

The particular technologies used will depend on the payment provider available through our website.

Where a payment provider independently determines how personal information is processed, its own privacy or cookie notice may also apply.

14. Analytics Information

Where analytics are used, we aim to configure them in a manner appropriate to the intended purpose and applicable legal requirements.

If we rely on the statistical purposes exception rather than consent, the relevant use will be limited to qualifying statistical information used to understand and improve our website or service.

Information may include statistics concerning:

• Visitor numbers

• Page popularity

• User journeys

• Device categories

• Browser versions

• General website performance

• Loading speeds

• General referral sources

Where required by law, information collected under an applicable statistical exception will be aggregated so that it is not used to identify or track individual visitors.

If analytics functionality is used for advertising, profiling, individual tracking, or another purpose outside the applicable exception, the appropriate consent will be required.

15. Advertising and Cross-Site Tracking

We will not rely on a strictly necessary, statistical, or functionality exception to use technologies for online advertising where consent is legally required.

Technologies designed to:

• Track individuals between websites

• Build advertising profiles

• Deliver behavioural advertising

• Measure advertising using individual-level tracking

• Connect website activity with advertising networks

will be subject to the appropriate consent requirements.

You may refuse advertising cookies without having to accept them merely to access ordinary shopping functionality, except where a lawful arrangement expressly permits otherwise.

Depending on the technology, this may include information such as:

• IP addresses

• Online identifiers

• Device identifiers
